Dont spend money!

But besides that, a very good game. The difference between this, and something like Genshin, is quite staggering. Especially in terms of the depth and skill of combat.

Fun game, but as always the greed and selfish actions of a few ruins it for the rest. Sony demonstrating once again why they don't care for their money cows.

Edit: Remember this comrades, together we're stronger.

Horizon Zero Dawn has an amazing story, who's compelling mystery keeps you hooked on finding out the answers, with supporting lore and background that adds such a tone and intensity of emotion. Add onto that a fun and novel gameplay focus of bow/spear VS machine dinosaurs, as well as a verity of interesting characters in support of one of the better AAA game female leads, and it makes for a great game. The DLC is pretty good too, adding just a pinch more of the same.

Taken as a Star Wars game its really good. A nice little side story, especially if you've enjoyed the Order 66 and pre-New Hope era SW media like Clone Wars, Bad Batch, Rogue One, Rebels etc.

As a game its pretty decent too, the combat is relatively simple but still fun, with a not insignificant skill curve to it. Although it does have some issues when it comes to the collectathon aspect (the lack of fast travel through previously cleared areas HURTS).

It struggles a little on PC it seems, you can tell its a port, but if you're comfortable doing some light modding that can be eased.
Speaking of mods, I found the 'Gal Castis' mod to be especially enjoyable, even more so when combined with a mod for hair and eye colour.

Project Wingman is an incredible and clear love letter to Ace Combat, and the work done is incredibly well polished. Its fun, its engaging, its extremely enjoyable and the music is brilliantly done.

Control is such an amazing game and Im ashamed I missed it for so long. The story, environment, characters, gameplay, music... its all brilliant. Its also really nice to have another great game with a female lead, that also has ZERO sexualisation or anything like it. The multimedia elements are perfectly woven in, and do not detract at all, and the fourth wall breaking aspects/meta-verse aspects are really cool too.

GRIS is by far one of the most beautiful and moving pieces of art and media I have ever experienced. The stunning art style, hauntingly beautiful music and intense colours, paired with a simple yet pleasing gameplay and a deceptively deep story that could be applied to many emotional journeys beyond the original intent. Its absolutely mindbogglingly fantastic. I cried at multiple points throughout the story, and I cannot fathom how much this game affected me.

Everything about this lovingly made game is just perfect. There is no bloat, there is no nagging feeling of being a product to be extracted money from, or that this game was made only to make money. This was made for a real human need and purpose, and would exist in any world that has art. I am so glad I got to be alive in a time and place to play it. Well worth every single penny I paid, and more. I honestly just wished I could have played it earlier.

It has INSTANTLY become one of my all time favourite games and art pieces, and the music will be living lavishly in my mind and playlists.

Not to mention that all this is achieved in a game that takes maybe a couple hours to complete a single run.
My wish is that this game was more popular. It deserves the praise, and acclaim.

Great Great Asset

Not bad for a near decade old game. Lets me play as Lithariel which is cool.
100% this game when I had no wifi lol.

Its still not in a good state. Continue holding off, perhaps it will improve like BF4.
